Pumpkin picking

On the one nice day we've had this autumn (ahem), Eric, Winny and I headed out to the farm market to pick out pumpkins, caramel apples, cider donuts, apple cider and pie pumpkins. This is my favorite place to go every year. I love how they stack the pumpkins, their caramel apples are the best and it's nice to head back to the west side for a little while! The drive out there was insanely gorgeous. The sun was just perfect and golden and the colors were beautiful. I wish every day this month was like this!


This was such a fun day with Winny. We try to wear her out as much as we can during the day, because otherwise at night, she's a terror! So we let her go nuts in a field and help us pick out the best pumpkins. My friend, Lisa, runs a really cute Etsy shop for dogs called Mike Loves Mommy. She has really cute bandanas, bow-ties and rosettes. I requested a chevron bandana for Winny and I love how it turned out. If you have a pup, head over there and check out some of her items! She has the exact chevron one up for sale that Winny has on.


I felt like an actual walking pumpkin in this outfit. I think perhaps I'm taking the "match your surroundings" idea too far? Haha! This is my third styling of my Minnetonka Moccasins. I was just featured in a Blogger Spotlight over on their blog, so be sure to head over and check out all three styles along with a quick interview and what song I have on repeat! I have a couple more fun autumn posts planned for this week... and then I'm moving onto something spooky. If you haven't been around for a while, you're in for a treat! ;)

I absolutely adore everything about this post!! Autumn is also my favorite season by far - pumpkin everything, the fall fashion, the holidays approaching, and most of all, the COLORS! Oh the colors make me so happy!

All of your photos are absolutely goreegous! I just got back from Norway, where the colors were a lot like the colors in your photos, and I already miss it!

Green Acres! right by my house :) fantastic

Alice, Pretty Confused said...

I love this outfit! Much more casual than your usual fare, but still absolutely beautiful! You look so warm in your boots and green hat. Winne looks so cute with her little scarf too, I love the idea of fashion for dogs (as long as the want to wear it that is) xo

k8te said...

love your green hat! our pup is a total terror at night too, so we are totally in the same boat with trying to wear him out during the day. it's harder on weekdays. we even say he has an alter ego at night "hank" (his name's really henry). good luck with your cute pup! would a giant bloodhound puppy look silly in a bandana? we may have to find out ;)

Bethany said...

Aw, I love how you look like a pumpkin! hehe. And Winny is adorable! I can't wait til we can get a dog.

I absolutely love your style, and that is the exact haircut I try to replicate every time. I hope you don't mind if a stranger takes a picture of you into the salon. Simple layers! Bangs! Should be so easy.

Super cute post!

Oh my, I feel like my family is the only one that doesn't go pumpkin picking. Yikes! I'm having a terrible time with autumn weather right now! So rainy and icky here in Buffalo. Winny is so cute! I love her little chevron bandana! It makes me wish I had a little puppy. Your outfit is so tuned into your surroundings, it's very cute. Love it!

I adore your little green hat! This outfit might be one of my favorites of yours because it's just so laid back! I've really enjoyed seeing more "every day" type looks lately.

Chelsea Lenae said...

What size did you purchase this top in? It was out of stock in M so I went with L, looks stretchy though so it might work? Thanks!
